We spotted this 1960s Morris & Steedman-designed four-bedroom house in Ravelston, Edinburgh, Midlothian last year, after which it seemed to disappear from the market. Now it’s back on with a slightly reduced asking price (and via a different agent).

It’s a B-listed semi-detached property, designed and built by award winning architects, Morris & Steedman in 1963 and sat in what are described as ‘beautifully landscaped grounds’. It’s also a house very much with modernism at its heart and with panoramic picture windows in every room, so plenty of natural light – more than you might expect.

The house has been updated (and we think extended) over the years, but this is still pretty much faithful to the original design and with original features to match, from the extensive wood panelling to the open plan reception space and what’s described as ‘free flowing family accommodation’. You just need to add your own twist to the decor and fittings.
